Land is being searched for the logistics park of Nashik in Adgaon-Mhsarul. A total of 64 acres of land is being explored in this area. A truck terminal will be built on 50 acres of land. Especially on the Surat-Chennai highway, the search for the truck terminal has been started. For this the Revenue and Town Planning Department has decided to appeal for the place. It is expected that work will start soon after the site search is completed.
BJP will benefit in elections
The elections to the Nashik Municipal Corporation are being held in the month of February. Accordingly, the ruling BJP still has two months left of its term. In view of this, BJP is trying to take advantage of this and has approved the proposal of recruitment of Jumbo Sevaks before the elections. After that Mayor Satish Kulkarni has taken the initiative to build an IT hub at the reserved place of the Municipality. Earlier, the Mayor had started efforts for a place in Dindori. In view of the difficulties faced in this regard, now an IT hub will be set up in the city itself on the municipal land. After that the work of Logistics Park will also be started. This will definitely benefit BJP.
